The experiment was conducted in a number of nurseries of cut flowers affiliated to the al-Hussainiya shrine and nurseries affiliated to the province of Babylon for the period from (10/9/2022 to 30/12/2022) and included a field survey of the types of pests that afflict cut flowers in the Babylon province and the nurseries of the al-Hussain shrine. Where the field survey of cut flowers showed that the percentage of infection with insect pests increased with increasing humidity and low temperatures for the following pests (Monacha obstructa, Lasius niger, Cicadellidae, Myzus persicae, Aphis fabae Scopoli, Oligonychus afrasiaticus, Maconellicoccus hirsutus, Bemisia tabaci) while the infection decreases with increasing temperatures and low humidity for the following pests. The field survey also showed that the highest infection rate for flowers was the chrysanthemum indicum plant, which amounted to (7.13), followed by the Antherium plant, with an infection rate of (5.88). It was followed by gerbera and clove, which had an infection rate of (5.75) and (4.5), respectively. The flowering plants of Myzus persicae, the rose, had the lowest rate of infection with most insects, as it reached (1.5), and the presence of an insect was All treatments. Also, it was found that the Dutch rose and the Iranian rose are more sensitive to infection with insect pests, as the infection rate was (10.5) and (9.25), respectively. The local rose is less sensitive to insect infestation, with an infection rate of (2.13), which confirms that the local rose is also tolerant of difficult local conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
